Wow I didn’t think about using PrintGuess to Call Get Guess. That’s insane.

#3

Interesting. I will try this to see if it solves my own problem.

#4

Well, it worked, but i’m not entirely sure why…

#5

@socratesBleu what issue were you having, that this solved?

@nilamo I wanted the player guess and the repeating of that guess as two separate functions.

these were my personal notes:

so I had two functions getGuess and returnGuess, since the string variable was local I had no idea how to grab that small bit. So I added the whole of getGuess into returnGuess which had the effect of running the getGuess function twice before showing what the player inputted.

I’d show more but I corrected the code and overwrote the save. Let me know if that made sense, if not i’ll try and go back to recreate the issue.
